Evil scientist, Doctor X,
has found a way to turn people and animals into mythical
creatures. Already he’s transformed everyone on the
little Scottish Island of Gogha – now he plans to take
over the whole world. Eleven year old Melissa has been
changed into Medusa, with wriggling snakes in her hair.
She escapes to the mainland to seek help but quickly
discovers that anyone who looks at her turns to stone.
Then Simon and Ross turn up - their sunglasses protect
them from Melissa’s powers. Only the three children can
save the world. Somehow they must get to Doctor X and
put a stop to his evil scheme. But with the island
overrun by Harpies, Minotaurs, Chimeras, a
Nine-Headed-Hydra and a host of other vicious creatures
this will be a very dangerous task.

The secret lives and
loves of cats are revealed in this adventure novel, that
peeks into a year in the life of the mischievous feline
Adrian Cat. Adrian is having trouble keeping his new
year's resolutions (especially "I will not be
condescending to my humans"), and he's also adjusting to
the fact that his humans have a new baby, his best
friend needs constant help, and he's in love for the
first time—with the angelic-seeming Snowball. But
Snowball turns out to be less than perfect and tries to
lead Adrian into organized crime. She forces him to join
the evil cat Killer’s gang. After numerous misadventures
he realizes that he does not love the beautiful but
power-crazed Snowball and really loves the scruffy yet
tender alley cat named Gypsy. After Killer’s gang runs
Gypsy out of town, Adrian is forced to make some strange
friends, fight the evil Killer and travel a rough road
in order to convince Gypsy of his love.

I wish I was much bigger
by Stuart Macfarlane
I wish I was much bigger,
Than all the boys in school,
I wish I was twelve foot high,
Without standing on a stool.

I wish I was much bigger,
Than all the boys in school,
I wish I were an evil giant,
And could stop them being cruel!!
